1 in 5 moms will experience some form of a perinatal mood disorder within the first year of becoming a mom. I hear from moms that they "just don't feel like themselves anymore." We tell ourselves it will get better soon, or that this must be normal. There is shame we feel thinking that we caused this or that we can do enough yoga or running to will ourselves into a better headspace, only to find we cannot. We feel trapped under the weight of expectations--both our own and those of the world around us.

I am passionate about helping you to create space to process the changes that are happening all around you as a parent. I have worked with moms long enough to know that there is no one right way to be a mom. You get to decide what this journey looks like for you, and I can help you in finding that and feeling your center of gravity again.

I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with experience, knowledge and compassion and I work with individuals of all ages to help them solve their life challenges. We are all brought into this world with many strengths, as well as weaknesses. I will help you let your strengths lead you towards peace, happiness and health while you confront your weaknesses head on. I am a cognitive behavioral therapist and hypnotherapist and will help you solve your life challenges in the here and now while helping you stay grounded in “the big picture” of WHO you are and WHERE you are in the arc of your life. I treat people with various life challenges including relational problems, depression, panic disorder, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, phobias and insomnia.

With warmth, humor, and honesty, I strive to create a space where you can feel supported, seen, and safe to explore what life has thrown your way. Wherever you find yourself today, I can guide you along the path of understanding yourself and your relationships, helping you to feel open and appreciate what life can offer.

I specialize in therapy with children, adolescents, young adults (up to 25), and the families that support them, as well as couples looking for support in building a strong relationship. I have focused my career on issues such as trauma, depression, parenting, anxiety, substance use, life transitions, and relationship difficulties.

Please feel free to reach out. You can create your happiness, and I'm here to help.
